Curated this recipe for my dear friend Mariam! We share a love for coffee and cute desserts, and these are some of her favorite flavors. I love creating and developing recipes, give this one a try! Your coffee will thank you 😉

Cardamom, Pistachio and Rose Biscotti 

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour 
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 4 eggs
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil (or butter)–you’ll get a different consistency depending on what you use, oil will yield a crispier biscotti whereas butter a bit softer
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 teaspoons cardamom (to taste, add more if you’d like, but be careful it gets strong quick)

Topping:

• Dipping White chocolate ( I have no patience for non-dipping chocolate. Dipping chocolate sets SO much faster)
• Edible roses (I get them from my local middle eastern store)
• Crushed pistachio 
• Sprinkle of cardamom

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350° F. Position rack in the center.
• Spray a non stick spray on foil which goes on your cookie sheet 
• In a medium bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt. 
• In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs on medium speed until light and frothy (about 2-3 minutes).
• Add the sugar gradually and whisk for another minute or so.
• add in your butter or oil and whisk
• Add the vanilla and cardamom. Whisk for another minute.
• Incorporate the flour mixture. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
• Pour mixture onto your cookie sheet and form a big rectangle. (Or if you want smaller biscotti make 2 long rows of rectangular shaped dough)
  • watch a YouTube video if you don’t understand this step!
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top 
• Take it out of the oven and with a *sharp* knife, cut the biscotti into thickness that you desire. Then flip them onto their side. Bake for another 10-12 min. Take the biscotti out and flip it to the other side and bake for another 10-12 min. 
• Take it out to cool
• Top with a white dipping chocolate, cardamom, crushed pistachios and edible roses 
• Dunk in coffee and enjoy!
